I believe this site is important for another reason.  I seem to recall 
at least one master's thesis analyzed all sourceforge projects and 
concluded on the basis of empirical data that BSD/Apache/MIT licenses 
(re:least restrictive licenses) produce more successful projects faster 
than the GPL, which kind of acts as a contrapuntal serenade to recent 
Linux Journal meanderings.
